Nestled in the stunning countryside of the Brecon Beacons, just a stones throw from the market towns of Llandeilo and Llandovery, Ynyswen Barcud is a cosy cottage retreat for the whole family. The cottage offers a modern finish with rustic features, stained glass panels (made by Lesley, the owner), a cosy log-burner and expansive gardens. If you enjoy hiking, stargazing, cycling or bird watching, this is a perfect base, with lots for all ages to explore.
Lovingly built by the owners themselves over 3 years, the high level of detail and care taken over this propertys layout is obvious.
The large, welcoming hallway gives way to a sizeable, comfortable living room. Immediately you notice the stone fireplace with log burner, around which you will find two sofas and an armchair to relax on. There is a SMART TV with Freeview and Blu Ray player, along with a selection of DVDs, books, and games for quiet nights in. At the far corner of the room, a workspace with desk is provided, as well as an extra drop leaf table. Patio doors lead to the patio area outside.
On the opposite end of the hallways, is the door leading to their modern kitchen diner. This is a large communal space filled with light, with all the mod cons required for making family meals. The fully equipped kitchen has an electric oven with electric hob, microwave, kettle, Dolce Gusto Coffee machine, under counter dishwasher, 4 slice toaster, sandwich toaster, American style fridge freezer and a comprehensive range of crockery and kitchen utensils. The sink and drainer sit under the large kitchen windows with views over the rear garden space and the hills beyond. The solid wooden dining table comfortably seats six guests for meals, and overlook a second patio in the garden area, with patio doors for access out and the potential of al fresco dining in the summer months.
The master bedroom features a super king-sized divan bed with pocket sprung mattress for a fantastic night’s sleep. The views from the window are fantastic, looking across open countryside towards a red kite feeding spot. The spacious room also has a dressing table with hairdryer, a walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite bathroom with a WC, walk-in shower, and double sink unit.
The second bedroom also has a super king-sized divan bed, with the same pocket sprung mattress. This bed can be split into two single beds, if required and upon request. There is a built-in wardrobe and underbed storage, as well as uninterrupted views towards the mountains beyond.
The third bedroom also has a zip and link bed which can be separated into two singles, with the same pocket sprung mattress for a comfy night of rest. With a built-in wardrobe, built-in dressing table, and underbed storage, this room is airy and spacious, with plenty of light coming from the window and bucolic views out over fields and trees.
The main family bathroom is on the first floor. This cool grey contemporary bathroom consists of a large walk-in electric shower, a separate bath, a WC and wash hand basin with sink.
The master bedroom comes with its own ensuite bathroom with a WC, walk-in shower, and double sink unit.
Downstairs, the ‘art deco’ style WC with wash hand basin has distinctive stained glass made by owner.
The outdoor space is vast, with two patios, one with outside seating and a table, and manicured grounds with a BBQ, surrounded by lush green countryside. There is also a clothesline for your use. The views to the rear of the property are of the beautiful Brecon Beacon hills, and you’re sure to spot some of the famous red kites that inhabit this stunning, scenic area.
There is ample off-street parking for 3 cars.
